+  2.14.5rc1:
+    changes:
+      bugfixes:
+      - Windows - Display a warning if the module failed to cleanup any temporary
+        files rather than failing the task. The warning contains a brief description
+        of what failed to be deleted.
+      - Windows - Ensure the module temp directory contains more unique values to
+        avoid conflicts with concurrent runs - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80294
+      - Windows - Improve temporary file cleanup used by modules. Will use a more
+        reliable delete operation on Windows Server 2016 and newer to delete files
+        that might still be open by other software like Anti Virus scanners. There
+        are still scenarios where a file or directory cannot be deleted but the new
+        method should work in more scenarios.
+      - ansible-doc - stop generating wrong module URLs for module see-alsos. The
+        URLs for modules in ansible.builtin do now work, and URLs for modules outside
+        ansible.builtin are no longer added (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/80280).
+      - ansible-galaxy - Improve retries for collection installs, to properly retry,
+        and extend retry logic to common URL related connection errors (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80170
+        https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80174)
+      - ansible-galaxy - reduce API calls to servers by fetching signatures only for
+        final candidates.
+      - ansible-test - Add support for ``argcomplete`` version 3.
+      - jinja2_native - fix intermittent 'could not find job' failures when a value
+        of ``ansible_job_id`` from a result of an async task was inadvertently changed
+        during execution; to prevent this a format of ``ansible_job_id`` was changed.
+      - password lookup now correctly reads stored ident fields.
+      - pep517 build backend - Use the documented ``import_module`` import from ``importlib``.
+      - roles - Fix templating ``public``, ``allow_duplicates`` and ``rolespec_validate``
+        (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80304).
+      - syntax check - Limit ``--syntax-check`` to ``ansible-playbook`` only, as that
+        is the only CLI affected by this argument (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/80506)
